Consequently, Castillon underwent colonoscopy and biopsy tests in Iloilo Doctors
Hospital, as per his request since he stays in Iloilo.[8] The tests showed that Castillon
had lymph nodes in his colon, resulting to Sigmoid Colon Carcinoma Stage III.B.[9]
Based on the results, Castillon was then endorsed for immediate operation.[10]
Castillon called the Claims Department of Magsaysay and informed them of the needed
operation. Magsaysay provided the estimated operation cost of P100,000.00.[11]
On November 3, 2009, Castillon was admitted to Iloilo Doctors Hospital where Dr.
Maximo Nadala conducted the operation and subsequently endorsed Castillon for
chemotherapy.[12]
On December 12, 2009, Castillon asked for a quotation of expenses for the
chemotherapy and sent Magsaysay a request for financial assistance.[13]
On August 26, 2010, Magsaysay asked Castillon to go before the National Labor
Relations Commission in Quezon City. In that instance, Castillon signed a pro-forma
labor complaint against Magsaysay. The case was assigned to Labor Arbiter Melquiades
Sol Del Rosario (Labor Arbiter Del Rosario). Immediately after, Castillon signed a
quitclaim and received a check for P888,340.00 before Labor Arbiter Del Rosario.[14]
The quitclaim reads:
